Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Once you devote your energy to work, it's generally difficult to feel the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, it was February and the most anticipated holiday, Valentine's Day, awaited by all couples.

Although they've been together for over a year, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun are still very much in a passionate relationship because they always get along sweetly.

For couples in the honeymoon phase, Valentine's Day isn't a particularly special day to celebrate since... for them, any day together can be counted as Valentine's Day.

After pondering for a long time, Bae Juhyun raised her hand and gently knocked on Director Kim's office door.

"Come in."

Bae Juhyun pushed the door open, walked lightly into the office, first bowed politely to Director Kim, then greeted him. After receiving a response, she sat down in front of him.

Looking at the woman in front of him who showed no particular emotion, Director Kim felt slightly puzzled.

"Did something go wrong during preparation?"

The filming of the MV has already ended, and in the past two days, they have been working with the company to prepare for the comeback, including but not limited to various poster shoots and some behind-the-scenes videos to be released later.

Probably because their commercial value has increased a lot, the resources the company prepared for them this time are considerably more than before.

"No, I have some things I want to discuss with you."

This was an unexpected answer for Director Kim, who raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh?"

"It's about the personal variety show you mentioned to me last time, after the comeback."

"Ah... is there a problem with it?"

"I want to ask about more specific details. You said there would be filming of both my work side and my personal side, right?"

"That's correct. During that period, you'll likely need to make a trip abroad, well... not to Huaxia, Huaxia is for group shows. For your solo show, you might go to Europe, but the specific details haven't been finalized."

"I see... I don't have any demands regarding the filming location but there's one thing I'd like to negotiate..."

"Is it about the staff appearing on camera with you?"

Bae Juhyun pursed her lips, nodded slightly, then showed a puzzled expression: "I don't understand the company's intentions. That matter is in the past, and arranging work like this for me now isn't going to remind everyone of it again?"

"Hmm... I understand your point, but there's something you need to be clear about, Irene. Your variety skills don't support you holding up a show all by yourself. Having the staff on camera does indeed aim to clear up your previous issue, but similarly, they're also participants in your show this time."

Director Kim replied solemnly.

As he said, Bae Juhyun is the most popular member of the team, yet she has the least resources.

And this year, she's gotten the resources that were originally hers, coupled with the media storms continuously stirred around her in the past two years... this personal variety show is bound to attract a lot of attention.

Therefore, maximizing the display of Bae Juhyun's commercial value is the company's goal this time.

Rather than calling it a personal show, it feels more like a "product showcase." During the program's filming, Bae Juhyun is definitely going to change into many different outfits, jewelry, and a variety of fashion accessories.

Clearing her image while simultaneously showcasing her commercial value, and incidentally advertising for her personal show's future team show and the year-end comeback...

These are all internal company requirements.

Finally, beyond all this, there is a deeper motive for clearing Bae Juhyun's image, which is...

"This year, you are our country and Huaxia's promoted international couple. You can't have any scandals on you that people can seize, so clearing your image is inevitable."

"But..."

Seeing Bae Juhyun's eyes gradually dim, Director Kim took off his glasses, sighed heavily, and his tone softened considerably.

"Of course, you can choose not to accept this project, but the premise is, you must come up with a plan that can at least convince the company... or at least convince me."

The sudden change in the subject made Bae Juhyun stand still, then she showed a surprised expression and stood up abruptly.

"Are you really saying that?"

Director Kim laughed. Actually, everything he said above was the upper management's requirement, but he... understands Bae Juhyun better than the bosses.

After all, she is directly under his leadership. If he doesn't even know what his staff is thinking, then he would be a failed leader.

From the start, Director Kim knew Bae Juhyun would be dissatisfied with this project, so he didn't take it up directly but has been negotiating with the higher-ups in a more subtle way.

After all, there's still a long time before the filming starts, enough time for him to properly consider Bae Juhyun's opinion.

Now that Bae Juhyun has taken the initiative, he's more than pleased.

"Yes, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I already spoke to the CEO about it. Time is ample; first come up with a plan that can convince me."

Bae Juhyun tried hard to hold back the urge to cheer, and then, she felt quite aggrieved. Why didn't he mention this she first day when he knew? She had prepared many reasons to persuade Director Kim in the past few days!
